I read about this the other day and tbh I laughed at it. It just goes to show the lengths that some people would go to in order to get their hands onto a gaming console, only in America would something like this take place.

There was also a case can’t remember which radio station it was that held a contest where the contestants had to sit on a block of ice the longest and the last one off won a wii, 3 of the people lost bum cheeks to frost bite!! Now that’s just ridiculous. But funny, I think if you were that desperate to get one then just pay the stupid prices on eBay instead of putting yourself at risk, pretty simple really.

It was about 2 weeks ago or something, my lecturer was telling me about it then I just had to read the article, I’ll ask her for the link again when I’m next in class. She had the whole lecture hall laughing at it, was quite amusing, lol
